Hay nets

*Unpaid advertisement, because products are shown*

Apart from adequate time on the paddock and pasture, we wish for occupation for our horses in their boxes. For a horse-friendly keeping, it’s important for us that a large amount of roughage is available at any time. This sadly has the major disadvantage, that the horses are spreading the hay inside the box. Some of them are even placing their droppings right onto the hay pile, despite the boxes being large. By the end of the day this means that we have to waste precious forage on the dung heap. Because of that we decided to invest in hay nets (as seen in the picture).
These nets are providing the horses with forage to at least the next feeding and they are occupied. The boxes are much cleaner than before and we don’t waste any fodder.

Horse care. An important task before riding

Beside the paddock and pasture runs and contact to fellow horses, the care is one of the most important tasks for us in regards to appropriate keeping. Before riding the horse is cleaned not only for the sake of cleanliness but especially to warm up and massage the muscles. The horses savor the treatment and every so often one is stretching when the right spot is treated. (As seen in the video)
